Presenting (he view of the tenant, .Tames Smith of Tekamah suggested that farming operations were much too high at present. Ho suggested a lease to run one year, with an option Of renewal for five years. He pro posed the tenant should furnish horses, machinery and labor, and own the livestock, a five-year pro ^TTrail of rotalii>n of crops agreed upon and all crops to be marketed in the form of livestock, if possible. He said the tenant should not bo charged for pasturage, Hie owner should fur nish seed, and divide 50 50 with the tenant on expense or operation and profit. Ip order for a lease to be satisfac tory, according to I'roJ, II. FUiey, who presented the impartial view, it should contain provisions for crop ro m tatfim, for the raising of legumes, * should encourage the keeping of live stock, should put a. penalty upon loose slipehod methods and Should protect theftenant against loss upon his re moval fur the efforts lie had made in bettering the land.
